| UniProt functional annotation for Q8RQP5 | |||
| UniProt code: Q8RQP5. |
| Organism: | Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus. | |
| Function: | Involved in the biosynthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), two major building blocks of isoprenoid compounds. Catalyzes the conversion of 4-diphosphocytidyl-2- C-methyl-D-erythritol 2-phosphate (CDP-ME2P) to 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate (ME-CPP) with a corresponding release of cytidine 5-monophosphate (CMP). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12499535}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=4-CDP-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2-phosphate = 2-C-methyl-D- erythritol 2,4-cyclic diphosphate + CMP; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:23864, ChEBI:CHEBI:57919, ChEBI:CHEBI:58483, ChEBI:CHEBI:60377; EC=4.6.1.12; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12499535}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=a divalent metal cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:60240; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12499535}; Note=Binds 1 divalent metal cation per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12499535}; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Temperature dependence: Thermostable. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12499535}; | |
| Pathway: | Isoprenoid biosynthesis; isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthesis via DXP pathway; isopentenyl diphosphate from 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5- phosphate: step 4/6. | |
| Subunit: | Homotrimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12499535}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the IspF family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
